About me
I'm Kayla, currently a stay-at-home mom, a fiction and nonfiction beta reader, book editor, book formatter & writer, also a member of the National Writers Union. Over the years I haven't just made book reading and writing a hobby; I have also done it on a professional level, working for a high-profile publishing company.
I know being an author is a mix of emotions; it can be sweet or isolating. I’m here to ensure that your efforts at the end pay off. I’m not just another manuscript “processor”, I immerse myself in your world while also refining your style without stripping away your identity

Kayla has proved a very helpful beta reader, she has been honest in everything she has delivered, including the rare occasions where she needed to admit a mistake. Some of her comments were outstanding, and I believe they have helped me to better my story.
